Problem in modem detection

Hi guys,

I've upgraded my sisters computer from Windows Me to Windows XP. Since then, the modem (US Robotics 56k Message modem on COM 1) can't be detected automatically. So, everytime she has to go to control panel>phones & modem options. There the modem is always listed but as "not connected". After highlighting the modem and selecting "add", it is then shown as connected to com1. I tried to update the driver from the modem properties but couldn't find any option to update it directly from the internet.
